Braai Mushroom & Halloumi Skewers are smoky, colourful and satisfyingly substantial. Mushrooms absorb the lively marinade while cubes of halloumi become golden and crisp over the barbecue or grill. The flavour comes from our Braai South African Hot Spice.

• 250g chestnut mushrooms
• 300g halloumi, cut into chunks
• 1 red pepper, cut into chunks

• 1½ tbsp Braai South African Hot Spice
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 lemon, zest and juice
• 1 tsp runny honey
• Fresh parsley, to serve

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Mix the Braai spice, olive oil, lemon zest, half the lemon juice and honey.
2. Add the mushrooms, halloumi, pepper, courgette and onion, tossing gently to coat.
3. Thread everything alternately onto skewers.
4. Cook over a medium-hot barbecue, under the grill or in a griddle pan for 10–12 minutes, turning regularly.
5. Finish with the remaining lemon juice and fresh parsley.
